Is Scope Markets safe?

Safety summary

The available evidence supports a cautious assessment. Positive factors include segregated client money, audited accounts (Independent external auditors) and 12 years of operating history. Risk factors include licences only from offshore or light-touch jurisdictions, no negative balance protection and no compensation scheme. Regulation can improve oversight and complaint options, but it does not prevent trading losses or guarantee that every dispute will be resolved.

Client money is held separately from the firm's own money, at Local top-tier banks. That separation is what makes your balance recoverable if the company fails, rather than part of the pool its creditors divide up.

There is no negative balance protection. In a fast market a position can gap straight through your stop, and without this the resulting debt is legally yours - you can lose more than you deposited.

Covered by No statutory investor compensation scheme for Belize clients, which pays eligible clients up to its limit if the firm fails owing client money.
